The Federal Government says MTN had paid N80 billion of the N330 billion fine imposed on it for failing to deactivate more than five million unregistered SIM cards.

Speaking at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja, the Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, said that the company paid the sum for the first year.

It will be recalled that MTN was initially fined 5.2 billion dollars (N1.04 trillion) for failing to deactivate more than five million unregistered SIM cards but was later reduced to N330 billion.

Where is the money?

How come we still want to borrow if this money was paid

FG should mandate mtn to pay in full moreover NCC should put search light on AIRTEL for their crook way of operations in the country. Very ridiculous and annoying!

This MTN fine is the begining of wisdom for network operators in the country. At least, their level of useless sms to one's phone have reduce above 50%
